Promissory Note
On August 30, 2024, Flag Ship Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Original Note”) in the principal amount of up to $1,000,000 to Whale Management Corporation (“Whale”). The Original Note did not bear any interest and had a maturity date of the earlier of: (i) December 31, 2025 or (ii) the date on which the Company consummates its initial business combination. The Original Note was subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of certain of which would entitle Whale to declare, by written notice to Company, the unpaid principal balance of the Original Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Original Note becoming immediately due and payable.
On August 21, 2025, the Company and Whale agreed to amend and restate the Original Note to solely raise the principal balance from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 (the “Amended Note”). Other than the increased principal amount, the Amended Note has the same terms as the Original Note.
The issuance of the Amended Note was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
A copy of the Amended Note is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The disclosure set forth in this Item 2.03 is intended to be a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended Note.
| Item 5.07 | Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holdings |
On August 26, 2025, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). Holders of 7,308,278 ordinary shares of the Company held as of record as of July 17, 2025, the record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, representing approximately 82.46% of the shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, which present a quorum. At the Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of the Company’s outstanding ordinary shares in attendance (represented in person or by proxy) voted on two proposals presented, the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, each as described in the proxy statement dated August 5, 2025 (“EGM Proxy Statement”).
Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein have the meaning given to them in the EGM Proxy Statement.

The Company’s shareholders approved the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution, the reduction of the monthly fee payable by the Company’s sponsor and/or its designee into the trust account to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial business combination from $0.033 per each outstanding public share (for each monthly extension) to an amount equal to the lesser of (i) $60,000 for all outstanding public shares and (ii) $0.033 for each outstanding public share. The first monthly extension fee must be made by September 20, 2025 while each subsequent monthly extension fee must be deposited into the trust account by the 20th of each succeeding month until June 20, 2026.

Proposal No. 2 – The Adjournment Proposal

As there were sufficient votes to approve the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Adjournment Proposal was not presented to the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Below are the votes tabulated for the Adjournment Proposal:
